• it is okay to have someone love you, but not at the cost of your own sanity. not at the cost of your own peace. not at the cost of constantly molding yourself into a version that fits their comfort but feels foreign to you. love is important, yes, but it is not something you should have to survive through. you can live without love that drains you. you can walk away from something that keeps placing you in the same position over and over again and still call it strength.

  just because you don't require much doesn't mean you deserve the bare minimum

• it is no longer about what they are doing or not doing. it becomes about what you are allowing. it becomes about the way you are slowly stepping away from yourself just to keep something going. it becomes about the way you are learning to live with less when you were never meant to.

  we expect so much from others because we give so little to ourselves

  Willingness to look stupid is a genuine moat in creative work

• What he’s really done is he’s created this immense vertical filing cabinet in his brain of layers and layers and layers of files of information that he can draw back on now for more than 70 years worth of data.
